THAILAND’S military ruler has apologised for suggesting attractive foreign tourists might be unsafe on the country’s world-famous beaches if they wear bikinis.

The comments of General Prayuth Chan-ocha on Wednesday triggered an uproar on social media, with criticism that they were insensitive and chauvinistic by insinuating that unattractive women were safe to wear bikinis while pretty women were in danger of attack.
